Hedwig

“Let’s cut to the chase. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the most exciting piece of music theatre to hit Sydney in years and is shaping up as one of 2006’s essential theatre experiences. Miss this and you’ll be sorry. 10/10.” -Jason Blake, Sun Herald

“You’ll, perhaps for the first time, understand how a show can live, forever, in a quiet corner of your heart. One tires of superlative cliches where reviews are concerned. How often does one read: ‘A triumph!’, ‘Electrifying!’? This production is both.”

“Let’s cut to the chase. Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the most exciting piece of music theatre to hit Sydney in years and is shaping up as one of 2006’s essential theatre experiences. Miss this and you’ll be sorry. 10/10.”

Jason Blake, Sun Herald

“One of the best new musicals in years, with a ferocity, edge and aliveness that so much of the lame genre now seems incapable of. Extraordinary and unmissable.”

Stephen Dunne, Sydney Morning Herald

“Is this debut Australian production any good? In a word, oh okay, in eleven words, it’s one of the best productions of any show I’ve ever seen! There is only one thing you have to do: See it! See it! See it!”

Mar Garvey, Drum Media

“Hedwig & The Angry Inch is an incredible and spellbinding theatrical event… Craig Ilott has directed an amazing high energetic and rare musical experience.”

Michael Finn, Melbourne Stage Online

“The production is brilliantly directed by Craig Ilott, who has elicited an extraordinary tour-de-force performance from lead actor iOTA, an artist with an impressive recording career, but, remarkably, appearing in his first stage role.”

The Canberra Review, Bill Stephens

“All killer, no filler Hedwig and the Angry Inch straddles the divide between rock concert and theatre show, and Craig Ilott’s production delivered in every department. Hedwig had swagger, pathos, sex and bite. 10/10.”
